Like most on here i suppose, i spend a good deal of time trawling e-bay for those elusive rareties.

Sometimes however i think you get just as much pleasure from the little touches that keep us all going.

Not rare or anything just nice, if that makes any sense.

For instance.Just arrived through the post this week: Flamingoes -boogaloo party (Philips) mint $2.50 and a nice James Brown - night train (King) $5 again mint with company sleeve.

Just a couple of nice records in really good condition.

Anybody else picking up this sort of odds and ends or am i just deludeing myself because i can't afford the big boys records at the minute

Think it can be an even bigger thrill when you find a really good record that cost you next to nothing !.

Another bit of fun you can have Gaz is to find foreign issues of 45's, they don't seem to interest the hard core collectors & so often go quite cheaply. Picked ups some lovely stuff from South Africa, New Zealand, Venezuela, Argentina, Philippines & Chille amongst others recently.
